What in the world ...

Several months ago, I just stopped. No more CNBC. No more drooling (or tweaking) over one stock, two stocks, 10 stocks. It just made no sense anymore, being awake at ungodly hours (Hawaii Standard Time) while the market teetered and tottered.

Guess what? Life has been life. Full of joy. Full of pain. Full of thankfulness. Full of regret. What I mean is, I've gotten to live without thinking twice, or even once, about this or that, about every freaking twist of this ridiculous market and economy.

Now that the Dow has plunged another 600 points, I can't say I regret not being a bull in a bearish market. It was worth it to be on the sideline. Things happen for a reason. Strange reasons sometimes. I think I'll stay out for quite awhile and just keep living. Enjoying.

Sooner or later, this market will turn around. The downturn won't go on forever. I hope I'll be ready then.
